Main Moon Restaurant - Menu - Chinese Near Me - Watkinsville, Georgia

We order take out from here atleast 2-3 time a month. The Mongolian chicken is our go-to. Friendly staff. Orders are typically ready in 10-15 min. read more

Food is usually pretty good. Nothing to brag about but it meets the cravings. Always quick to cook and always ready on time. I've never had them mess up the order and everything is fully cooked. read more

Main Moon is hands down the best Chinese food in Athens or Oconee. It's family run and the dishes all feel and taste home made. I've loved everything that I've had from there. read more

Kind of boring Chinese food. The egg roll was tough on the outside. The sesame chicken was just okay. The chicken with garlic sauce lacked flavor. Service was good. I may return to try something else on the menu. read more

Had to get my shopping done today so I popped in for an order of fried chicken wings. No sauce, just wings and so very delicious!! Honestly they don't look like much, that's why I didn't share a pic. But they are absolutely the best wings I've had. I come back for them again and again Everything is cooked fresh and absolutely worth the short wait. Main Moon is family owned and operated and they know their stuff!! Don't let the strip mall location fool you; you can't go wrong here with anything! read more

See all

The best Chinese food I've had in Athens! They use the freshest ingredients and it is always delicious!!

Best Chinese food I've had since moving to Athens. Large quantities of everything and very fair pricing. The general tso's chicken and steamed dumplings especially were on point. read more

The most FLAVORLESS food I've ever tasted. Fried rice has no egg in it. So... yeah, that's just called RICE. Chicken was boiled and white as a gym sock, no seasoning at all. Egg drop soup was water with egg floating in it. No taste at all. The 2nd star is because they were friendly and the ingredients were fresh. They just have no idea how to cook Chinese food. Don't be fooled by the 5 star reviews. They're probably Watkinsvillian hickabobs who wouldn't know a bao bun from a buffalo fart. read more

Main Moon Restaurant - The most flavorless chicken fried rice on Earth - Chinese Near Me - Watkinsville, Georgia

Unfriendly counter employee and probably the worst (dried out and hard) fried rice and vegetables I've ever tried to eat. I'll never return.

Great food. Cheap prices. Large portions. Easy take out and delivery. Would recommend.

Very good Chinese and decent prices! Loved the crab rangoons, general tso and Szechuan chicken. Their sweet and sour sauce for dipping is great! Q read more

Main Moon is a classic Chinese take-out place. They've got a huge menu that includes all the staples, but what I really appreciate is that you can substitute tofu for any protein and even order off-menu. The sesame tofu is my current favorite. read more

So so so good! I ordered my meal to go and called ahead! The lady said 10 minutes so I was able to stop and pick up something for my daughter and then head over! I ordered lunch Sesame chicken came with fried rice w/peas and carrots and an egg roll, I added a small vegetable lo mein! We had to wait about 5-7mins just enough time to pay & pick out a fortune cookie and sauces. The cashier offered my daughter an animal balloon(poodle) and then gave us our food! Her daughter made them! So sweet and thoughtful! We got home and I looked at everything and I was able to put more than half of my dishes in Tupperware for lunch or dinner the next day! Everything was delicious! We will definitely be back! Thank you for being so kind and for a generous heaping of food! Unfortunately, I didn't take a photo ‍ next time I will try and remember!! read more

Get the general tso chicken! It slaps! This place has been around for over 10 years so they must be doing something right

We ordered online for Christmas day. Food was delicious, ready on time and staff was friendly. We might have a new favorite Chinese restaurant! read more

This is by far the best Chinese even remotely close to the Athens area. Every dish is not only authentic, but delicious & prices are reasonable. Staff is always friendly. read more

Excellent food, price and consistent quality!! Our best Chinese Restaurant in the Clarke-Oconee area.

Best Chinese food in town. Very friendly staff and phenomenal food. I would recommend the Mongolian Beef.

i always get the broccoli & chicken in white sauce because i'm allergic to wheat and it's great every time! also the last time i asked they were not using any products with MSG. read more

We used to really love this place. Not the best quality of food, but they were really good at what they did; very professional. Then we started getting sick when we would eat there. The first few times, we brushed it off, as we didn't know for sure that this was what was causing it(you know how life is, you eat so many various things, how can you really be sure). Eventually we stopped eating there, and stopped getting sick. We didn't eat there for a very long time, then, last night, we were put in a position where we needed to again, so we did. And the entire family, all 5 of us, have been sick all day today. I don't know what they changed, but please, do yourself a favor and DON'T eat there. I would hate to think what may happen if someone with a compromised immune system ended up like us. Oh, it's awful. read more

Love this place. I eat here about once a week. Food is always super fresh and hot. I hate green vegetables so I special order everything. They don't bat an eyelash. My favorite dishes are the Five Spice Chicken, Pepper Steak, and egg rolls. read more

I'm a really big fan of this place because it is one of the only Chinese Restaurants in the Athens/Watkisnville area that doesn't use MSG (at least that is their claim, though my husband says he suspects they've started using a little in the past year - say it ain't so!). Lunch specials are great and affordable. Huge portions, delicious egg rolls and friendly staff. The only thing I'd have them change is to add a few more vegetarian options, but hey, the ones they have aren't too shabby. There is even a steamed option for those watching their weight. Very good! read more

Price was ok. The rice didn't have any flavor. Only thing that tasted any sort of good was the lo mein and the honey chicken.

The food is usually good but they only make one gallon of sweet tea per day other than that you have to buy a 20oz soft drink at $1.30 a piece if they made more sweet tea I would eat there more often read more

CHINESE FAST FOOD AT ITS BEST! I've been going here for years. It's order off the wall type of Chinese so there are a few tables and chairs, but it is mainly for take out.There is also a larger take out menu and some specials hand-written on the wall. I always first judge a Chinese place on their Hot & Sour Soup and Main Moons is some of the best. Try the Tofu dish specials such as General Tsu's Tofu or Sesame Tofu. The Crab Rangoons are the best. The fried Wings are the best. Everything is great at this place and they claim not to use MSG so you don't get that yucky " I ate too much buffet" feeling. They give you a good bit of food with your dinner as well and always a choice of steamed or fried rice. Did I mention it is minutes outside of Student-Infested Athens-That's always a plus as well. Again, it is Chinese fast food at its best! read more

Main Moon is a perfectly fine Americanized cheap "Chinese" joint that's a step above a mall food court. I sampled the mu shu pork, hot and sour chicken, potstickers (had an unfortunate taste of uncooked flour), wonton soup, and the fried rice. Everything was reasonably priced, tasty enough, and made nice leftovers. Authentic? Absolutely not. Best ever? No way. This place doesn't hold a candle to the succulent dishes I had during my trips to mainland China. Most Chinese places in the US are cheap and completely different from the sophisticated and varied foods you find in China or even in the Bay Area in California. But, if you judge this place for what it IS--cheap, salty, Americanized--it's yummy enough that I'll happily go back. read more

Main Moon's menu is standard American-Chinese, but they do it better than most. If you're looking for a vegetarian option, ask them to make something that's not on the menu... they're usually very friendly towards special requests. In particular, I frequently order Mongolian Tofu, which is not on the menu. They always make it for me, and it's always very tasty! read more

This is by far the best Chinese in the Athens area. We moved here about 2 years ago and haven't been able to find a really good place to get Chinese until I started working in Watkinsville and found this place. I waited to eat here a few times before writing my review to see if everything held up. I've had sesame chicken, peking chicken, and general tso's chicken so far. They were all very, very good! The best I've had here. The egg rolls are also good and crispy. Their crab angles are crab rangoons and are extremely fresh. They don't use MSG, which is a huge plus for me. The food is always extremely hot, fresh, and tasty. I have ordered it to go every time I've gone, and it's ready within 10 minutes or less. It's also really cheap! I got general tso's lunch special with fried rice and egg drop soup for $6 today. This is absolutely the place to go for Chinese! read more

Food is average, portions are decent size though. They charge extra for every little substitution and there egg rolls are terrible. Seems clean and usually doesn't take too long to get your order. Not many other options in Watkinsville, should be better for the price read more

We have ordered take out at Main Moon for the past 6 years and have found the food to be great and consistent as well as fast with great service. read more

Best. Chinese. Ever!!! I consider myself a Chinese fanatic of sorts and have searched far and wide in search of the best Chinese food. Though most of my search has been in the Southeast and Southern CA area, I can say that so far, Main Moon is the best I have had. They cook the food in a delightfully oily sauce that I can't find in California. Although oily sauces seem to be more common in the Southeast, the sauce itself is more flavorful than other restaurants in the area. Whenever I am in town, I always get the Broccoli Beef. I have also tried the Sweet and Sour Chicken which is also very good. I don't give out 5 star ratings often but with respect to Broccoli Beef, Main Moon does it the best. read more

I don't normally write reviews, but I had a really bad experience here. I placed my order online and drove over to pick it up. Easy enough. When I arrived, my order wasn't ready, and I was told they were out of tomatoes for my dish so someone had run next door to the store to get some. Understandable. I waited a few minutes, and my order was ready. Great! I drove home...I was so hungry. When I arrived, I opened the box and found a small BUG covered in sauce resting on a chunk of tomato. I got my sister to check it out, and she confirmed that it was, in fact, a bug. So sad for me and the saucy bug! I removed the body and then I noticed the tomato still had a sticker on it so maybe it hadn't even been washed? Unacceptable! I had eaten here once before and wasn't too impressed, but thought I'd give them another shot with another menu item. Big, disappointing mistake! read more

Great food for the price, huge selection, and amazing quality! Family owned and a amazing family!

I hate to write a bad review, however the meal we just had left a lot to be desired. The chicken fried rice was bland - boiled chicken on top of rice and the egg drop soup was so greasy, we couldn't eat. On a positive note, the egg roll was good. read more

The food was very good. Having two teenagers in the house and a busy work schedule has made take-out a big part of our lives. It's nice to know I can get healthy and delicious choices at Main Moon. The only drawback is that the Kung Pao shrimp is breaded, which I didn't like. read more

Be careful if you have a Peanut Allergy. They use peanut Butter to roll their egg rolls but do not disclose this information anywhere on the menu. read more

Worst Chinese I've had in a long long time. Nothing fresh here. Whoever wrote the good reviews must be friends and family. Got visited by a baby roach after eAting yucky Chinese food. Gross. read more

Main Moon is a good little place to grab a quick bite. They make a lot of the meals from scratch and the service is quick(though don't expect them to be overly friendly). My daughter and I are both extremely sensitive to MSG--in all its forms, and this is one of the only places we can eat at in the area. Even nice, sit down Italian restaurants will use maltodextrin or some other form of msg and we will be sick for days, but not at main moon! This is not a five star gourmet restaurant, but they are good at what they do. The portions are plentiful, and the food is good. The entrees have ALWAYS been hot and fresh. Never once have they messed our order up. Their SAS, Kung Pao, and General Tsos sauces are delishious! For me the only drawbacks are: too much breading and sometimes connective tissue in some meals like sweet and sour chicken, they serve pork fried rice instead of veggie or egg fried rice with the combos(picking all those nasty little pork pieces out can be a pain), and their egg drop soup can be very inconsistent in terms of quality--we often find big globs of cornstarch in ours. But make no mistake, it is THE BEST fast food place in Watkinsville. Keep it up, guys, you do good things with chicken. read more
